Documents imaging of rare primary ovarian angiosarcoma; extends sparse literature but leaves open diagnostic value.
Primary ovarian angiosarcoma is an extremely rare disease. Most reports concern young premenopausal patients, and relatively few case reports regarding elderly patients exist [1]. In this report, we present a case of ovarian angiosarcoma in a 79-year-old woman. The patient's initial chief complaint was abdominal distention. Sonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a large heterogeneous mass with hemorrhaging, solid compartmentalization, and an abundant vascular network. The diagnosis of primary ovarian angiosarcoma was verified using immunohistochemistry staining with CD34, CD31, and Fli-1. In this report, we describe the sonographic, CT, and MRI features of this case of angiosarcoma.

Lee et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Primary ovarian angiosarcoma (n=1). Radiological imaging (Sonography, CT, MRI) was evaluated on Radiological features and diagnosis verification. Sonography, CT, and MRI of primary ovarian angiosarcoma in a 79-year-old woman demonstrated a large heterogeneous mass with hemorrhaging, solid compartmentalization, and an abundant vascular network.
